Father’s Day or Dad’s Birthday Card
A bit early for father’s day cards I know but I am still playing with my new stamps
Stamp Sets: Autumn Flair (hostess gift), Greetings Eight (both from the new catalogue)
Card Stock: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango (2009 in colour range), Whisper White
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red, versamark
Accessories: stampin’ dimensionals, pastels, sponge daubers, SNAIL adhesive
Before I did my scrapbook page I practised on a strip and I quite liked the strip so I cut some Pacific Point card to size and attached the strip. (see below for how I made the strip with versamark, pastels and ink)
I then stamped in Pacific Point the Dad stamp from Greetings Eight and attached using stampin’ dimensionals.
New Catalogue
The new catalogue is here and I have been playing with some stamps and colours from my pre-order.
Stampin’ Up!s 2009/2010 Idea Book and Catalogue will be online from 12pm Tuesday April 1st and you can purchase a copy through me on or after that date.
Stamp Set: Autumn Flair ( a level 2 hostess gift)
Card: Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss (from the new “in color” range), Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Tangerine Tango, riding hood red (“in color”), versamark
Pastels: Chocolate chip
Accessories: Flower Designer Brads (from the new catalogue), anywhere glue, SNAIL adhesive, sponge daubers, Crop-a-dile
I cut the tangerine tango card to 6×6 scrapbook page and stamped a border down the left hand side. I started with the versamark with the flower shapes and I daubed over two of them with the chocolate chip pastel and left the other two as watermarks. I then stamped the lighter images with tangerine tango and then two step stamped with riding hood red over the top.
I cut the chocolate chip to create a border on the right hand side and the kiwi kiss to create a bit of lighter colour to the look. I then layered the cards and photo.
I then stamped the flower image again on whisper white card stock in tangerine tango and riding hood red. I attached them through using the Crop-a-dile to punch a hole through the flowers and card stock and I used a brad from the flower set from the new catalogue.
I am not sure my scanner accurately reflects the colours – chocolate chip being much darker. The new colours in the catalogue are gorgeous!
Anniversary Card
Card Stock: Whisper White
Paper: May Special (but you can use any)
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: stampin dimensionals, anywhere glue
Stamp Set: Fun and Fast Notes
This is the same idea as the bowl of flowers I posted earlier. I masked out the Congratulations with tape when I inked the star (removing the tape before stamping). I stamped the star onto different colours of the stampin’ up paper and cut out the different stars and flowers and layered it to produce a 3D look.
Christmas
To decorate the Christmas table *last year now* I bought some red and gold wrapping paper.
I got out my “Whisper White” stamp pad and my “So Swirly” stamping wheel and rolled out a pattern on the red wrapping paper.
I then rolled the red and gold together into a cone shape and we filled it with red and gold chocolate hearts and red and gold Christmas baubles and voila – one for each place at the table.
